Back! Been shooting with dad. I'm afraid I am addicted to shooting plates... I'm not half bad with my wheel guns either. I can be different! Shot a Thompson contender in 45-70gov.. Wow!
Shooting plates is tough to do fast ! Same with bowling pins ! LOL But dam it is fun ! LOL
I had a contender in 30-30 with a 10" barrel ! Didn't take me long to get rid of it ! LOL 45-70 , no thanks ! Bad nuff in a rifle ! LOL
 
Right around 5. something seconds with the 29 S&W in .357. Shot decent with the 686 with reddot the other week. Did the best with the Taurus and Springfield 1911s though. But the tricked Ruger Mark 2s and 3s are fun to shoot. Dad has a 8 or 10" 30-30 barrel for his. Keep it just to get a smile every now and then. 14" .223 stays on most of the time. I shot a older 45-70 in a carbine and it wasnt bad, so I bought a H&R with 32" barrel cause its all I could afford compared to a Sharps replica. That thing stomps like a dang mule. Being a long barrel it burns all the powder. It popped me in the cheek bone last time we had it out. haha. Got a line on a .458, may have to take a look see. Glutton for punishment.
 
458 ! Punish isn't the word for that one ! LMAO !
Any H&R kicks like a mule ! A 20ga in one is BAD ! LOL But a 45-70 ???!!!!! ????? Not me !! LOL

I have had several H&R's and the recoil has been better on all them than most bolt or pumps!

Even the 10ga was better than any 12ga pump I have shot!

Strange ? Them single shots I had all kicked worse I thought ? One bolt action 20ga did kick worse ! It was very light ! Looked like a pine stock on it. LOL 2 shots would leave a bruise on ya ! LOL

The worst rifle I can remember for recoil is my current remington 700 BDL .270 win................... it is bad!

Worst shotgun was a mossberg 835 ultimag 12ga bruised me every trigger pull

But the worst gun ever was the TC omega inline muzzleloader I had. Thot for sure it broke my shoulder!
 
Heard that about all them 835 things.
A 700 isn't usually that bad , I worked up a load for a friend in his 700 BDL 300 win mag. That did hurt ! LOL

The wife's howa 1500 .270 don't kick at all and they weigh bout the same and barrels are the same length
